Lao - Luang Prabang

Next Stop for us ..Laos…Luang Prabang..



A beautiful , very slow and sleepy little town set along the mekong river which has a great warm atmosphere in it..…I cant sell this place enough with there not being lots to do within it- however it just has a great feel about it..and we both loved it!

It also has the usual night market however people are much less pushy and market more organised then anything we had seen over Asia so far.. so you generally enjoy the experience a lot more here..

A picture Nehal took of cute tiny pillows that were sold in the night market.
We took an afternoon out to visit the Kaung Si Water Fall… Beautiful waterfall with clear waters…a host of swimming options in the pools.. We took the opportunity to climb to the top of falls and cross over to the side- where we saw great views of the falls from the top..

Smaller water falls at the foot of the waterfalls




Top of the waterfallsthe main fall with a 50 m cascade 

Kav and I walked across the top of the water fall at the lip where it starts just behind the fence Kav is holding!!

Amazing views from the top!

Trying to get a snap of the sheer drop.


Pleased with our successful climb and crossing.
Some kid that was playing at the foot of the falls with his friends!

That evening we checked a bar/restaurant that was recommended to us by alot of travellers called Utpoia.. Cool place, slightly hidden away… chilled out vibe…where we spent the evening having a few drinks and some shisha…
